oh, yeah - that's the other thing. The original uses local storage (have a look in Chrome>Inspect Element>Resources>Local Storage):

How has the World Wide Web evolved into what we know and love today? And what do we need to know to navigate the web safely and efficiently?</p>\n\t<p>“20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web” is a short guide for anyone who’s curious about the basics of browsers and the web.

We’ll also take a look at the modern browser and how it helps users browse the web more safely and securely.</p>\n\t<p>Finally, we’ll look ahead to the exciting innovations in browsers and web technologies that we believe will give us all even faster and more immersive online experiences in the future.</p>\n</div></div></section>","/foreword/3":"<section class=\"template-inner-7 title-foreword page-3 globalPage-3\" style=\"z-index: 497; display: none;\"><div class=\"page\">﻿<p>Life as citizens of the web can be liberating and empowering, but also deserves some self-education. Just as we’d want to know various basic facts as citizens of our physical neighborhoods -- water safety, key services, local businesses -- it’s increasingly important to understand a similar set of information about our online lives. That’s the spirit in which we wrote this guide. Many of the examples used to illustrate the features and functionality of the browser often refer back to Chrome, the open-source browser that we know well.

TCP/IP created a set of rules that allowed computers to “talk” to each other and send information back and forth.</p>\n\t<p>TCP/IP is somewhat like human communication: when we speak to each other, the rules of grammar provide structure to language and ensure that we can understand each other and exchange ideas. Similarly, TCP/IP provides the rules of communication that ensure interconnected devices understand each other so that they can send information back and forth. As that group of interconnected devices grew from one room to many rooms — and then to many buildings, and then to many cities and countries — the Internet was born.</p>\n</div>\n<div class=\"right\">\n\t<p>The early creators of the Internet discovered that data and information could be sent more efficiently when broken into smaller chunks, sent separately, and reassembled. Those chunks are called <strong>packets</strong>. So when you send an email across the Internet, your full email message is broken down into packets, sent to your recipient, and reassembled. The same thing happens when you watch a video on a website like YouTube: the video files are segmented into data packets that can be sent from multiple YouTube servers around the world and reassembled to form the video that you watch through your browser.</p>\n</div></div></section>","/what-is-the-internet/3":"<section class=\"template-inner-2 title-what-is-the-internet page-3 globalPage-6\" style=\"z-index: 494; display: none;\"><div class=\"page\">﻿<div class=\"left\">\n\t<p>What about speed? If traffic on the Internet were akin to a stream of water, the Internet’s <strong>bandwidth</strong> is equivalent to the amount of water that flows through the stream per second. So when you hear engineers talking about bandwidth, what they’re really referring to is the amount of data that can be sent over your Internet connection per second. This is an indication of how fast your connection is. Faster connections are now possible with better physical infrastructure (such as fiber optic cables that can send information close to the speed of light), as well as better ways to encode the information onto the physical medium itself, even on older medium like copper wires.</p>\n\t<p>The Internet is a fascinating and highly technical system, and yet for most of us today, it’s a user-friendly world where we don’t even</p>\n</div>\n<div class=\"right\">\n\t<p class=\"continuation\"> think about the wires and equations involved. The Internet is also the backbone that allows the World Wide Web that we know and love to exist: with an Internet connection, we can access an open, ever-growing universe of interlinked web pages and applications. In fact, there are probably as many pages on the web today as there are neurons in your brain, as there are stars in the Milky Way!</p>\n\t<p>In the next two chapters, we’ll take a look at how the web is used today through cloud computing and web apps.</p>\n</div></div></section>","/cloud-computing/1":"<section class=\"template-start-5 title-cloud-computing page-1 globalPage-7\" style=\"z-index: 493; display: none;\"><div class=\"page\"><div class=\"page-title\"><h2>Cloud Computing</h2><h3>or, why it's ok for a truck to crush your laptop</h3></div><div class=\"left\">\n\t<p class=\"drop-cap\">Modern computing in the age of the Internet is quite a strange, remarkable thing. As you sit hunched over your laptop at home watching a YouTube video or using a search engine, you’re actually plugging into the collective power of thousands of computers that serve all this information to you from far-away rooms distributed around the world. It’s almost like having a massive supercomputer at your beck and call, thanks to the Internet.</p>\n\t<p>This phenomenon is what we typically refer to as cloud computing.

Some of us live in cities in which nearly every museum, bank, and government office has a website. The end result? We spend less time in lines or on the phone, as these websites allow us to do things like pay bills and make reservations. The movement of many of our daily tasks online enables us to live more fully in the real world.</p>\n</div></div></section>","/cloud-computing/2":"<section class=\"template-inner-5 title-cloud-computing page-2 globalPage-8\" style=\"z-index: 492; display: none;\"><div class=\"page\">﻿<div class=\"left\">\n<p>Cloud computing offers other benefits as well. Not too long ago, many of us worried about losing our documents, photos and files if something bad happened to our computers, like a virus or a hardware malfunction. Today, our data is migrating beyond the boundaries of our personal computers. Instead, we’re moving our data online into “the cloud”. If you upload your photos, store critical files online and use a web-based email service like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, an 18-wheel truck could run over your laptop and all your data would still safely reside on the web, accessible from any Internet-connected computer, anywhere in the world.</p>\n</div>\n<div class=\"right\">\n\t<div class=\"image1\"><img src=\"\" data-src=\"/media/illustrations/cloud02.png\"></div>\n</div></div></section>","/web-apps/1":"<section class=\"template-start-5 title-web-apps page-1 globalPage-9\" style=\"z-index: 491; display: none;\"><div class=\"page\"><div class=\"page-title\"><h2>Web Apps</h2><h3>or, \"Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Appiness\"</h3></div><div class=\"left\">\n\t<div class=\"image1\">
